I have been dating a guy for 2 month and it was my 30 th birthday yesterday ( thursday). I was also planning a party on 8th, the Saturday. I asked him on last Sunday ( 5 days before my brithday) if he wanted to meet me for a drink after work on my birthday and also give him the option that he is welcomed to the party but not forced to come. He said he would met me for a drink on my birthday and if he was busy he would re-arrange things. I was so happy to hear that!!
However, on Tuesday he text me and asked me if i like to have a drink on Wednsday, it seems that he completely forget my birthday. I called him and he thought i meant next Thursday , and he got the date confused. Since he already had plans he said he would re-arrange and let me know the next day. I thought about it and then i text him to say donot worry if it is too hard to re-arrange and i will be one year older with or without his witness! (...I'll write more in the added section.....)

He did not reply and the next day i went to work and emailed him again to say ' donot re-arrrange ' he said ok and he was busy and have not got time to re-arrange anyway!
I felt a bit pissed off- he was so insensititve!!
On my birthday he emailed me in the morning to say ' Happy Birthday'
I know birthday is not a big thing for him as he does not celebrate his.. but i could not help feeling that this guy is just not that into me... or i have just been silly to not tell him what i need?

First off Happy Birthday =) I would move on. It doesnt seem like he likes you all that much to forget your B-day. Did he at least get you a card or something?? Well I hope it works out good luck and im sure you will be able to find a great guy

Personally, if my bf did that to me, I'd be pretty pissed off and he'd be lucky if he heard from me in a loooong while. But back to your issue.
It does sound like that he's being pretty incensitive, but it could also be that he didn't know what you needed from him. I'd suggest that you talk to him about it, tell him how you feel, and then give him some space. As they say, it doesn't matter how busy a guy gets or how shy he is, if he really really wanted the girl's attention or phone number, he'll find a way to get it. Also, texting allows for the guy to be impersonal. Next time call him and ask him to call you. There's so much information that we pass onto each other that's non-verbal (such as facial expressions, body postures, and voice tones) that all gets lost through an e-mail or text. Calling's bad enough since you miss out on the body language, but at least you still get to keep voice hints. If you had called him and talked to him about missing your birthday, he might've caught on to the hint that you were really upset. With a text, he probably didn't think to think.
Be sure to tell the guy how you feel (like hurt, or pissed off, or ignored) and then, depending on his reaction, you'll probably be able to tell how he feels about you. If he keeps acting the way he acts, he's probably not that into you. If he changes and tries to keep in mind that you have feelings, then it shows that he cares.
Happy late birthday and hope all goes well.

I find the read confusing, so I imagine he's confused as well.
At any rate, if he had any interest or caring for you, and was confused, then he should of said something to that effect.
I tend to agree with your thinking, he either doesnt care, or he's just plain ignorant. In either case, he doesnt seem to be worth your time.........let alone the opportunity to celebrate your birthday. I believe one's birthday is a very very special event!

Think positive. You two only been dating for 2 months. He might not ready to meet your friends on your b-day. To some guys, showing up at this kind of occasion meaning to confirm you two relationship. If he still not 100% sure about his feeling for you, thats possbile he doesn't want to show up and rather to make other arrangement.
If you really likes him, just take it slow and give him one more chance.

The male and female brains work very differently, often making communication between the sexes difficult. When a woman says "do not rearrange", what a guy hears is, "do not rearrange".
I know, this sounds strange to many women. We just don't have the "women-ese to English" translators in our brains that you all have. You'll just have to be more explicit to him in future.

Wrongs could be distinctive between cultures and can replace by means of the years. some cultures have faith that categorical food could be arranged in a undeniable way and it rather is incorrect to do in any different case. that incorrect my have improved in the previous refrigeration replace into accessible and so might not be suited. nevertheless, there'll be some who persist with the custom in simple terms using fact it labored for previous generations. for those that believed interior the will for racial purity some human beings it replace into incorrect to have integrated colleges, shared eating places and lavatories. for those that believed in male superiority, it was once incorrect for women folk to assume equivalent pay. For populations which have been loss of life using fact of ailment or loss of life in warfare and organic catastrophe, it is easy to think of that homosexuality replace into discouraged using fact it diverted sexual power from replica. i've got faith that in case you examine the ten Commandments you will discover that each and each replace into defined to deter strikes that tended to have undesirable consequences for those societies at that factor and in all hazard nevertheless does. in lots of circumstances, in simple terms as you have defined and to the improved worldwide of the twenty first century, those undesirable consequences look incredibly logical. In Biblical cases, in simple terms some understood the coolest judgment or had the know-how.

It's only been two months. You're acting like the two of you are married. Granted he should have remembered, he could have carried it on better, but he did text you a Happy Birthday. I think you're blowing this out of proportion a bit.

I would have told him what I needed or wanted. You have only been dating 2 months...I think I would have felt a little bit hurt and bothered. Good Luck

It does sound a bit like "he's just not that into you" syndrome. But, I think you may have sounded a bit edgy with the text message. It's rough walking that line between door mat & understanding...
